    It is how kids are

    Hellll no. Have you seen how cruel kids are to each other in school? If you show any amount of weakness or insecurity or difference from the norm, everyone will gang up on you and make your life hell. There are literally cases of gay or neurodivergent children being driven to suicide by bullying. Kids derive pleasure from making their peers feel inferior to them, much more so than adults. Nice kids are not a given, their parents have to carefully mould those attributes into them. Kids left to their own devices with insufficient parental discipline are horrible.
